Our #primatesanctuary team is standing by ready to rescue more than 1,000 #monkeys, but @usfws wants to send them back to Cambodia to lives of suffering in labs! Please call or email the agency and ask them to work with us to rehome the #animals to #sanctuary!

#Zoos conservation & education claims don't stand up to scrutiny, excellent article by @chambira @BornFreeUSA - #WorldWildlifeDay 2023: Animal Captivity Is A Dangerous Distraction from Real Conservation Efforts

[PETA @peta]

BREAKING: PETA supporters waited outside of @CRiverLabs all day and found no evidence that 1,000 monkeys ever left the facility.

In the last 24 hours, thousands of PETA members took action! Keep the pressure on @USFWS to send the monkeys to a sanctuary ➡️ https://t.co/OIzW2oFsJM

[Born Free USA @BornFreeUSA]

🆘 URGENT! 🆘 More than 1,000 #monkeys who were stolen from the wild in Cambodia & imported for U.S. labs are being sent back to the people responsible for their suffering!

Tell @USFWS to halt the transport and work with us to find sanctuary homes! ➡️

This is not a drill! Urgent action needed to save 1,000 monkeys! https://t.co/hsenA3oaLu

[Liz Tyson @chambira]

Thousands of #monkeys and other nonhuman primates are suffering as pets in the U.S. Not only is this cruel, it is also dangerous. As this #comic by @ZooDraws @BornFreeUSA shows, we must take action to end the #ExoticPet trade in primates! https://t.co/1mhRIzGzkr

[Born Free USA @BornFreeUSA]

THIS TUESDAY: Join us for a virtual #WatchParty premiere for our new short #documentary, "Finding Sanctuary!" Following the screening, we will host a live Q&A with Born Free's Liz Tyson and Devan Schowe, and the film's director, Jack Wootton! Register: https://t.co/sBAG5djnbC

[Liz Tyson @chambira]

Great to see movement on this but a complete ban is needed, not the two-tier system proposed by government, which will see future generations of #monkeys kept as pets. Read Born Free’s stance here #bantheprimatepettrade #primates #exoticpets

[Born Free Foundation @BornFreeFDN]

Born Free has called on the UK government to implement a comprehensive phase-out of the keeping of primates as pets in England.

Born Free USA's Liz Tyson spoke with Lex Talamo of @LadyFreethinker about our new #SilentSuffering #fur industry report and why the only way to end the cruelty of #FurFarming is to end the industry altogether. https://t.co/HVaqEVLorP

@ppebs @BornFreeUSA We miss you too!

@willtravers @BornFreeFDN @BornFreeUSA How lovely! Please give Virginia a big hug from me and the monkeys! Happy Christmas and I *hope* we’ll see you in person ... maybe...in 2021! Hugs and thanks for all your support this year, Will!

@dan710ths @Defend_Protect @BornFreeUSA We’ll also be working on public awareness surrounding the primate pet trade in the New Year. It is a really important issue for @BornFreeUSA (and for me, personally)

[Liz Tyson @chambira]

@dan710ths @Defend_Protect @BornFreeUSA We’ll be working to reintroduce the Captive Primate Safety Act in 2021. This is a federal level bill which would prohibit sale, transportation and acquisition of non-human primates for the exotic pet trade. It’s not an overnight solution but will (eventually) be a permanent one.

@JaneSamuels I had forgotten about chip pie! Did Craig invent it or just master it? I always associate it with him. Imma make chip pie and horrify my US colleagues 👍🏼
